Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's Thanksgiving week, 1989. We're in Big Piney and Little Piney, two hollows near the town of Garnet in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A handful of mismatched folks -- some country people, some far-flung, fancy people -- discover they have one thing in common: someone they know is sick, real sick, dying sick. August Early has never set foot in a hospital before. Maggie Dulé packs a bag despite her vow never to return to the Pineys again. Burnice Kling, R.N., is fixing to "fire" her patient, a "cantankerous old cauliflower of a woman" and mother to an estranged daughter named Maggie. Meanwhile, Cadence Greevey passes among them unnoticed. She's only 14, and has got a mama who's ailing with no one at home to help. Their paths cross at a local hospice called Solace. Suddenly, they're caregivers, bedside improvisers, doing all they can to beat back death or hurry him on about his business.
